We visited in November 2023. The disadvantages are very minor and I will not take them into account in the rating. This is our 5th trip to Thailand, I already know what to compare it with, and it's really a good place to stay with children)) Large territory, gorgeous monitor lizards the size of calves, fish, crabs, birds, beauty. Yes, the sand is not white, but it is fine and there are stones, but for me, it's more like a beautiful landscape. We were a group, 6 children, 6 adults - everyone found places without rocks to swim perfectly. No jostling, lots of air, lots of space, pools for children and 18+. But we didn't swim in the pools, but there are slides and a "steam train" made of cheesecakes, very nice. The staff was excellent, we paid in cash, agreed in advance by letter to the hotel that we could not make the payment due to bank sanctions and non-working cards. No problem. The room is two-room with access to a small pool, we are happy, but we hardly swam in it, as it is in the shade a lot during the day. Next time they would have been picked up on the shore, they were not available. The food at the hotel is very good - the breakfasts are varied for Asia, and the last week out of three we bought dinners there. Before that, we went to taverns in the city, but at some point we got tired, and the dinners were very tasty and varied. The children who missed Russian cuisine were happy, for example, pancakes)) the price was about $100 for dinner + alcohol separately. There was live music all the time, lovely. There is a medical center at the hotel, we tried to help as much as we could when applying. A good dry cleaning service at the hotel, a good application, responded immediately to requests, for example, a child was sick, bed linen had to be replaced - everything was ready in 15 minutes. We went on excursions from the office in the city. In general, it's a great place, I highly recommend it.
Nice hotel! We rested here for two weeks! We will be happy to come back again! The beach is great, the rooms are good, the hotel grounds are large and well maintained, and there is a lot of entertainment on site!
We lived for three weeks. A room on the 1st floor of the Seaside Junior Suite. Direct access to the beach. It's the best there is. It is better not to take rooms with a swimming pool. There's a paddling pool, it's noisy, it's humid.
Huge waves in the sea, it is impossible to swim. There is one large adult-only pool and one large communal pool on site. There is a water park, there are many children there. Ours got tired of swimming there on the fourth day, thank God.
On-site restaurants of the Cola bank cost 70 baht, just behind the hotel in a 10-minute walk seven eleven, there are 6 cans of cola 88 baht.
The food and the kitchen are good. The food is of high quality. There are a lot of people at breakfast. There are few people at lunch and dinner, the cough is pleasant. We had full board, it did not include soft drinks. We bought them at seven Eleven and came to the restaurant with our own, so you can.
There are 90% Europeans in the hotel. There are very few Russians and Chinese. Families with children mostly rest here.
There is no animation.
The gym is good.
Meals for lunch and dinner according to the cards. 750 baht per person. That is, you come to lunch, take the menu and choose for yourself 750 baht. If you go beyond this amount, then you need to pay extra with money. A plate of shrimp in batter with fries costs 320 baht at the restaurant. A delicious steak with potatoes costs 680 baht.
There are great sunsets here every evening.
And most importantly, there are enough sun beds for everyone and everywhere. Towels are removed if the owner has not been on the sunbed for more than an hour. So the sunbeds do not take up indefinitely for the whole day.
Everyone understands English.
Wi-Fi catches throughout the territory. It's free.
In the photo below there is a communal pool, there is also a communal bar, it is paid.
The depth of all pools is about one and a half meters.
